Not Such A Noble Knight.

Peter Dome 1900 (Sheffield)



I am a noble knight
My sword is bent
My armor full of dents
My steed a stubborn mule
In fact
I'm not a knight at all
Failed at knight school
Too fat too small
The damsels I attract are flies
I see a fight or  dragon I run away

But one day
I dream.

Peter Dome 2021.
